Control chart pattern recognition using RBF neural network with new training algorithm and practical features.

The control chart patterns are the most commonly used statistical process control (SPC) tools to monitor process changes. When a control chart produces an out-of-control signal, this means that the process has been changed. In this study, a new method based on optimized radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is proposed for control chart patterns (CCPs) recognition.

A novel approach for recognition of control chart patterns: Type-2 fuzzy clustering optimized support vector machine.

Unnatural patterns in the control charts can be associated with a specific set of assignable causes for process variation. Hence, pattern recognition is very useful in identifying the process problems. In this study, a multiclass SVM (SVM) based classifier is proposed because of the promising generalization capability of support vector machines.

Optimization of brushless direct current motor design using an intelligent technique.

This paper presents a method for the optimal design of a slotless permanent magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motor with surface mounted magnets using an improved bee algorithm (IBA). The characteristics of the motor are expressed as functions of motor geometries. The objective function is a combination of losses, volume and cost to be minimized simultaneously.
